Ridgewood NJ, the Pallotta For Congress campaign paid a visit to the Village of Ridgewood yesterday . Frank made the rounds in the central business district and has been outspoken in his support for small business , which has suffered disproportionately due to the disruption of COVID19 and then with the tyrannical lock downs imposed by Governor Murphy .

Ridgewood Nj, according to Anne Loving on Facebook ,”Candidate Harwin was at the train station this morning. She introduced herself to councilwoman Bernie Walsh, and said she is running for office and she will represent the commuters. (Mind you, councilwoman Walsh is completing her sixth year serving on the council. She herself is a commuter and she represents the commuters.). So what does this tell us? Ms. Harwin never attends council meetings although she wants to serve on the council. She has stated that she watches meetings from home after she gets her kids to bed. Ok, I cannot believe this. She would know councilwoman Walsh and her distinctive smile and thoughtful commentary if she ever watched meetings. So Ms. Harwin does not watch meetings, does not attend meetings, does not know who is serving now, does not know who she would be serving with if elected. How could anyone consider voting for someone who I so completely disinterested and uninformed? KNUDSEN AND SEDON.”
You see it does to pay to go to council meetings , you might even get to know the other members of the council .
The Council repealed 3066
Kings Pond will get a fix

Ridgewood NJ, The council meeting was business like and everyone was respected. People are now allowed to ask questions and the new council actually answered. It is amazingly difference from when Aronsohn ruled and they all stared at the speakers or, worse yet, they attacked the speakers.
A couple of people spoke happily about 3066 being repealed. It will not be finally repealed until the August public meeting.
A man spoke about fixing Kings Pond and it sounds like that will happen . Susan has already put money in the budget to finance that. Saurabh asked and asked about the supposed $60,000 spent by Stacy Antine at Health Barn. Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld waffled on providing info and Boyd blasted her for this.
The swearing in of Chief Luthke was wonderful and the high point of the night The room was packed standing room only. There was much applause and John Ward came and pinned his own stars on Jackie’s epaulets. The whole thing was very moving. The female chief from Bergenfield was in attendance as were three freeholders.
The only blemish on the event was that the unelected village manager as usual planted herself in the midst of the swearing in, where she has no right to be. Someone needs to remind Ms. Sonenfeld that she needs to stay up on the dais as the other unelected members (Heather and Matt) do for proclamations and swearing-ins.
